Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates rendering a portion of an image from a server on a client. A portion of an image can be hosted by a server. A client can utilize a device to interact with the portion of an image via a network. The client can established two or more TCP/IP connections with the server in order to interact with the portion of the image. A pipe component can enforce an isolated pipeline and a processing thread for each of a user manipulation of the portion of the image, a transmission of a user request to manipulate the portion of the image via the network, a rendering of the portion of the image on the server, a compression of the portion of the image on the server, a transmission of the compressed portion of the image via the network, a decompression of the portion of the image on the client, and a display of the portion of the image on the client.
